Examiner Dennis G Bonshock has allowed 141 of 273 decided applications (52%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Dennis G Bonshock maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 273 disposed applications, 141 were allowed and 132 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 52%. This pooled figure reflects decisions made across the examiner's assigned art units and represents the examiner's historical record as a whole. The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only and does not include any pending filings.
This pooled record aggregates Bonshock's work across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 52% allowance rate describes past decisions on closed applications and is a historical summary, not a forecast of any specific pending application. Pooled figures smooth variation across individual art units and provide an overview of the examiner's overall record. Individual art-unit data may differ from this aggregate.
These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 107 decided applications with an interview and 162 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 4 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Dennis G Bonshock has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 273 applications.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
